coarsely ground 1-lb of beef sirloin with 1-lb chuck. double-ground half of the total batch, then lightly hand mixed with a healthy amount of salt and pepper, 1t. olive oil, 1t. soy sauce, and 1t. white vinegar. formed into 1/3 to 1/2-lb balls/patties (that's right) depressing the top middle of each burger form (to avoid having a meatball instead of a burger, and for even cooking). let the grill heat up for about 30-min, then cooked the burgers for about 3-min per side, placing the sliced gruyere onto the burgers for the last two minutes of cooking. sliced and lightly fried the cut faces of some portuguese sweet rolls in butter until golden brown. slathered some mayonnaise on the rolls with a little ketchup and some dressed greens (olive oil, cider vinegar, salt and pepper). threw some meat on the rolls - burger magic.

inform yourself

i cook with friends and these are some pictures of some of the projects/dishes/meals/etc. that i have made since january 2008. sometimes other people take the pictures and sometimes other people make the food, usually noted. if you would like more information on any of the food, please feel free to contact me (or drop a comment). i'm not looking for fame or to be recognized as a chef/cook, i have no formal training in the culinary arts and i don't claim to know what i am doing, this is simply a hobby of mine and this blog is a more linear way for my friends and family to view some interesting creations. enjoy!

[edit: i also have a different style column over on selectism. check it out.]
